The “Corporate Humor” Instagram Page Shares 35 Hilarious Memes That Perfectly Sum Up How Office Employees Feel (New Pics)
Working in an office isn’t easy. If you’re lucky, you have great relationships with your colleagues and can actually see out a window from your desk. And if you’re not so fortunate, your job has given you back pain, stress, a lovely rush-hour commute twice a day and zero opportunities for career growth.
If you know the struggle of working a 9-5 all too well, you’re not alone, pandas. Below, we’ve gathered some of the most relatable memes from Corporate Humor on Instagram to help ease the pain of working in a cubicle all day long (Unfortunately, we can’t do anything about that sciatica pain though!). Be sure to upvote the pics that make you stifle a laugh at your desk (Can’t let the boss know you’re having fun!), and enjoy bonding over the universal experience of working a desk job.

Hasn't it been proven that 4 day work weeks are better not only for the people working, but for the companies as well? Productivity went up, employees were happier, etc.

It depends on how labor intensive your job is, and how many hours you work. I work 4 10-hour shifts. I'm up at 5 (I procrastinate getting out of bed), at work by 7:30, off by 1800, and I don't get home until almost 1900. Then I have to rush showering, eating, and any minimal time to myself before I attempt to go to sleep at 2100. And my job is very demanding. I have no free time for 4 days, but having 3 days off is AMAZING! I wouldn't be able to do my job if I had to be there 5 days a week.

If you’re a fan of the sitcom The Office, you might imagine working in an actual office to be full of shenanigans and birthday parties. However, anyone who has real-life experience with a job like this knows that it can be much less exciting. 40 hours a week sitting at a desk and slaving away to earn your employer as much money as possible is not many people’s dream, but someone’s gotta do it! In fact, many of us have to do it. So if you’re all too familiar with the struggle of working a corporate job, this list goes out to you, pandas. The Corporate Humor Instagram account has amassed over 27k followers by sharing over 460 hilarious and painfully relatable memes, so we hope you enjoy checking them out.
And lucky for us, the last time Bored Panda featured Corporate Humor, about a year ago, we were able to get in touch with the account’s creator to have a chat about how the page was born. The founder shared that they started the successful Instagram page at the beginning of the pandemic, as they were getting burnt out and needed a way to vent. “I always thought humor and sarcasm was a good way to relieve some of the stress, so I started making my first memes,” they explained.

I never understood why they emphasize a gap so much. Why do they care if you spend a year traveling the world, taking care of something, educated yourself or hang on a couch the whole time because you won the lottery? If you Americans disappoint in your work they kick you out. Now, in Europe, this might be more of a thing as an employer has to pay wages for sick personnel up to two years.

Guess what, painting really IS something that's fun, has a result I do like, and requires nothing more than a few cans of spray paint (or, guessing into the future - airbrush equipment ... but you don't start having that around, ...), a canvas and masking tape (for my kind of picture - gemoetric stuff, mostly based on stripe patterns and their ... uh ... interaction).

The creator of Corporate Humor went on to share that they didn’t expect the page to reach past their friends and family members at first, but the follower account quickly snowballed. “More and more people found it relatable! I’m still amazed that the following grew to 20K+,” they previously told Bored Panda. And when it comes to how they decide which memes to share, the founder noted that often they’ll create memes based on the ideas and personal stories that followers DM them.
"I try to build relationships with my followers. I’ve set up polls to learn more about their experiences," they went on to note, adding that it’s always great to hear from them. "When I get messages like 'wow I just went through this' or 'thank you for making us laugh!', it makes my day." In fact, the page has even helped some followers get in touch with one another for real-life job opportunities.

I was just going to say that. I am former corporate executive HR and salaries are not determined in that department. This is all pre negotiated in the companies business plan in determining potential profit forecasting. The manager usually offers a low ball number even though he could go up several thousand dollars but only up to a cap. Of course they start low as most people don't know it's negotiable.

Hr is to protect the company, not help you 😞 it's a crappy lesson to learn
LizzieBoredom 2 years ago
Having HR in charge of hiring and firing is like having the people paid for sharpening the Guillotine blade also paid for dulling the Guillotine blade.
It’s no secret that working in the corporate world isn’t for everyone, so if you’re curious about some of the tips and tricks that can help you survive that brutal dog eat dog environment, we consulted this article from Samia Hasan at Ellevate. First, Hasan notes that it’s common for an individual’s worth to be tied to their most recent performance rating. “Even if you were a top performer 5 years in a row, if for whatever reason you did not manage to get a top rating this year, you’re doomed,” she writes. “You may think that in your amazing company, they really sit down and evaluate all your results, compare them to your peers, iron out the differences in work plan and workload and give you a fair assessment on where you stand. If you go to work thinking that at the end of the year, this is how evaluation will be done, you are in for a huge setback.”

I remember at an old job, the owner was requiring everyone to take a 10% pay cut (supposedly because business was bad). He said he was also taking the same pay cut. Him: $200,000/year - 10% = $180,000/year. Me: $45,000/year - 10% = $36,000/year. BIG difference. Also heard him telling a customer about how he was remodeling his pool to put in a waterfall. I left shortly after that.

Sometimes, in the corporate world, people are only nice to you because they need something. Hasan goes on to explain that people working corporate jobs have to be prepared to learn that some of their “friendly” colleagues might not actually have their best interests at heart. And when it comes to getting a promotion, it’s important to understand that performance is not the only factor taken into consideration, the way your performance appears is very important as well. “When you are working in a diverse, multiethnic organization where people come from all sorts of cultures and backgrounds, the way each person views the world, filters information, processes it and then makes meaning out of it could differ significantly,” Hasan writes. “Perception is reality. It is imperative that you portray the right perception of your work and results to the decision makers who matter and will decide on your promotion.”

Regardless of how your employers view you in a corporate job, don’t forget that your self-worth should never be linked to your position and performance at work. Having a great month of sales does not suddenly make you a better person, and having a slump does not mean you deserve any less in your personal life. We all experience ups and downs, and it’s important to love ourselves unconditionally and keep our personal lives separate from our work lives. “While fortune does favor the bold, keep in mind there are so many factors that are outside your circle of influence that determine your career path and success in the company,” Hasan notes. “If you were to beat yourself up for failing at those, it wouldn’t be all that fair. Broaden your pie of self-worth and take pride in all the other roles you have in life when the going at work gets tough.”

Working a corporate job doesn’t have to be all bad, though. Sometimes, holding one temporarily can be a great way to earn some savings for what you really want to do in the future. Paul Millerd wrote a piece for his website Boundless breaking down how beneficial corporate jobs can be, first noting that they can help professionals develop skills that will help them later in their careers and lives. “In full-time work, there are endless opportunities to learn new things,” Millerd notes. “You just need to look for it. In a large organization almost everyone will know about something that you don’t know about. It would be impossible not to have people in your organization that could teach you something about marketing, finance, accounting, communication, managing others, or resolving conflict. Not to mention broader life skills like parenting, dealing with health challenges, or relationships. You just need to stay curious and keep asking questions.”

By working a corporate job, you might even realize that you can live the fulfilling life you’ve always dreamed of while still balancing a full-time job. “One of the best things I did throughout my career was to go up to people that seemed to be thriving,” Millerd writes. “These are the people that everyone loves working with and that people admire. They stand out from the others with a certain ‘aliveness’ that is hard to deny … Go talk to these people. Tell them that you admire their positive energy and ask them where it comes from … These people always have an experience that changed their life, a mentor that helped them approach life with a new perspective or a deeper purpose that drives them in their life. Try to spend time with these people. Ask them for book recommendations. Keep asking questions about their story and surround yourself with these people.”

Once, a co-worker was talking about buying a house. I said "You should have no trouble. We have the same title so we make about the same, about $xx a year." Next day I was called into my mangers office. He threatened to fire me, put me on a month's probation with a disciplinary action in my record for revealing my salary.

What's a sprint? To me it's a very fast run for a short period of time.
